Chapter 19 Opening Ceremony
Yan Xue said that this kind of thing is actually very inappropriate, first of all, she does not have the right to talk about cooperation on behalf of Taiwan, although her position in Taiwan is very important, but the cooperation level still needs other people who are specifically responsible to talk about it, and secondly, this future cooperation model is just an idea put forward by Taiwan, and it has not yet been determined.
But Yan Xue decided to reveal a little to Lan Yu for personal reasons, and it was just a greeting to make him have this impression in his heart, if the WT team really won the championship in the future, then Lan Yu would definitely consider himself first when choosing to cooperate.
After all, unlike the simple-minded boys and girls of the WT team, Yan Xue is mixed in the workplace with complex relationships, and she always has to think about herself.
Lan Yu didn't think much about it, and after thanking Yan Xue for her kindness, he sent them downstairs to the car and left.
After coming back, Yuan Xiaoye was still nagging, this kid seemed to like Yan Xue, and he praised Yan Xue's beauty and intellectuality, which attracted everyone's contempt.
With the experience of the last show, they knew that this episode of the show would make the team more eye-catching, so there was some pressure in anticipation, and the results of the audition will be announced in the next two days, and after the sixteen audition teams are promoted, they will start the group round-robin of the top 32, and the group will be announced at that time.
The information on the other fifteen seeded teams is still unclear, so WT teams have to work much harder to prepare than the other teams, and tactical discussions take a lot of time each time, simulating the lineup that the opponent will expose when selecting and taking people, and making corresponding targeted deployments.
Fortunately, it started with a group round-robin, and it was also possible to take the opportunity to collect information about other opponents in the game, otherwise the WT team really didn't have much bottom in a knockout round like an audition.
Before the start of the game, Lan Yu and others returned to the United States to invite the TSM team to play a coaching match, this time Lan Yu did not make any deployment in terms of tactical targeting, it was completely a decent style of strength play, in addition to disabling the opponent's particularly strong heroes, in the selection of people is also based on comprehensive strength, the kind that is guaranteed in the front, middle and late stages.
This time, the WT team performed well, although it still lost, but it was not a fiasco, the two sides once had a difficult relationship online, especially Chen Chuxiao and Wang Yan's lower road was even more double-eyed, and they got a blood in the battle, and Yuan Xiaoye also shifted his focus to the lower road under Lan Yu's arrangement.
Although the version is biased towards the mid-laner player as the main pillar of the team, Lan Yu always believes that the lower lane is the best place to open up the situation, and he gave Chen Chuxiao more support and trust, putting the team's main output direction on the lower lane, while himself restraining the opponent's mid-laner and limiting his wandering as much as possible.
After nearly 40 minutes of coaching and several waves of team battles, TSM eased up a bit to give the WT team more opportunities to learn more.
I have to say that the WT team is really lucky, Lan Yu's communication skills are strong, and now the gods of TSM completely train them as friends, maybe they think that there is no intersection anyway, there are such hard-working juniors, and the seniors should always take care of them.
This game brought greater gains to the WT team, Mu Huan's transformation was basically successful, from a fierce stunned green on the line to a black-bellied killer, even TSM's Dyrus was a little unsuitable for Mu Huan's style of play, and gave Mu Huan a high evaluation after the game, saying that he had the strength to enter the American king group.
This evaluation made Mu Huan very satisfied, because he really felt that he could beat the strongest king in the United States......
Of course, except for Mu Huan, who was full of self-confidence, everyone else carefully accepted the comments and guidance of their predecessors, and silently scored their performance.
Lan Yu told the TSM team that he was going to start competing for the championship of the city, and was unanimously blessed by his seniors, and asked Lan Yu to add their tuba to prevent them from getting tired of playing these trumpets and losing them to repractice.
With such a strong sparring team as the backing, Lan Yu is full of confidence in the upcoming City Championship.
On March 5th, the audition finally ended, and after hundreds of duels and two and three knockout rounds, the sixteen teams that stood out officially entered the top 32 of the City Championship, and officially announced the start of the City Championship.
All 32 teams were invited to participate in the opening ceremony, this time the H City Championship was held in the newly built sports center e-sports hall, since H City began to develop e-sports, the sports center began to do this aspect of the technology introduction, just before the start of this year's City Championship, and then the H City B League will also be held here.
The stadium can accommodate up to 5,000 spectators at the same time, but there is also a relatively loose standing area next to the seating area, which will also be open to spectators standing and watching the game if there is a special match that is overcrowded.
The main stage is a combination of several large LCD screens, the clarity has reached the current domestic top level, there are special commentary seats and team leaders next to the stage, and a professional referee and director team has been prepared.
The sides of the main screen have a very good soundproof room, which also allows players to play in a more undisturbed environment, and there are rest areas and accommodation areas behind the stage, if some games need to be played late, the esports stadium can provide accommodation, but at your own expense, the price is not high, and the teams can fully afford it.
A large amount of mineral water and drinks were hoarded in the warehouse next to it, and during the H City Championship, all spectators who bought tickets to watch the game could receive two bottles of mineral water with their tickets, although it was not a great benefit, but at least it also showed a little bit of the organizers' heart.
Billboards have already begun to be erected in front of the stage, and some well-informed companies have already bid for advertising space to promote their companies, and it is said that the revenue from advertising organizers alone is already considerable.
Thirty-two teams followed the staff in turn to check the facilities of the entire e-sports stadium, although everyone's knowledge is good, but all the projects of this e-sports stadium still make everyone very satisfied, in the past only in the video to see the situation of the professional competition venue, now the city's e-sports stadium has absolutely not lost to the top domestic competition venue, this pride is still from the bottom of the heart.
The members of the team sat down in turn in the front of the audience area, and Wang Zhiguo, the person in charge of the E-sports Division of H City, walked on the stage, took the wireless microphone handed over by the staff, greeted everyone with a smile, and looked at the person in charge who was as kind as Maitreya Buddha, and everyone let out a burst of goodwill laughter.
At the opening ceremony, H City TV also sent someone to record the material for the evening news broadcast, so when the camera swept over the players in the audience, everyone was sitting upright, looking serious, even if they were lively in private, at this time, they should give the audience a calm and optimistic and positive impression.
As an old acquaintance of the TV station, the WT team is so detained, Chen Chuxiao and Wang Yan took the initiative to send the most beautiful smile to the screen, Lan Yu and Yuan Xiaoye made a grimace, the camera pointed at Mu Huan for a full thirty seconds, and found that he had no expression and reluctantly gave up.
Wang Zhiguo is a very good talker, after all, the director of the Propaganda Department is from a background, and he can incite the emotions of the players on the scene with every gesture, except for a limited number of teams with calm expressions, the rest of the people are as excited as if they are going to the battlefield to win glory for the country.
There was also a ribbon-cutting ceremony at the end, which was to celebrate the official use of the e-sports hall, and the leaders stood in a row, but they invited a team captain to do the cutting on behalf of the team.
"What are you arguing about, there are thirty-two teams, and there are girls in one team, and they are also the captains, are you embarrassed to rob them?" It was Tang Xiaoxie of the Flower Demon Team of C University who spoke, relying on his familiarity with the WT team, and decisively proposed Chen Chuxiao, which could be regarded as selling the WT team a favor.
This kind of ribbon-cutting activity is destined to be on the news camera, being able to show his face on this occasion has an extraordinary effect on the team, although Tang Xiaoxie is very arrogant, but he has a very vicious vision, before this, Wang Zhiguo on the stage has been looking at the direction of Lan Yu, presumably he has already made up his mind, and he said it loudly to promote this matter, which not only gave the WT team face, but also gave Wang Zhiguo some good impressions.
Sure enough, Wang Zhiguo glanced at Tang Xiaoxie with deep meaning in his eyes, and said with a smile: "Lady first, I don't think everyone will object, classmate Chen Chuxiao, please come to the stage." ”
At the cocktail party held at Lan Yu's house, the two sides had met, and it could be regarded as a one-sided relationship, Chen Chuxiao hesitated and looked at Lan Yu, Lan Yu nodded encouragingly, and she walked quickly onto the stage.
Under the flash of the reporters and the camera strafing in the audience, the ribbon-cutting ceremony was successfully completed, and the H City City Championship officially began.
Next is the grouping and competition system, this time the competition system is different from previous years, the group stage is no longer a win to accumulate three points, lose a game zero points, but to be in line with the professional competition, using the BO2 system, win a win to get two points, win a loss to get one point, all negative zero points.
This arrangement is also to take care of those teams with medium strength, if you can have the opportunity to fight hard to grab the next game, you can get at least one point, and the two-game format also has one more chance to target the opponent, so although the schedule is longer, but it is fairer, so this system is still unanimously approved and praised by the players.
As for the grouping, the 32 teams are divided into four groups, with up to eight teams in each group, and each team will play ten games in the regular round-robin round-robin, seven of which will be played against members of the group, and the other three will randomly select opponents, and the top four teams in each group will enter the round of 16.
The City Championship is a bit more complicated than the other competitions that the players compete, but it also has more opportunities, after all, it is an important part of the way to professional competition, and the organizers strive to bring out the true strength of each team.
The WT team was placed in Group B, with six seeded teams...... There are only two teams that have been selected through the audition, and they are worthy of the name of the death group.
The champion teams in each school district are not bad, and such teams generally try to stagger the early matchup, try to knock out some cannon fodder teams first and then decide the winner, and as a result, these six teams are squeezed into the same group, and at least two or more seeded teams will be eliminated in the round of 32.
Seeing this grouping, Lan Yu also gasped, although there was no familiar flower demon team, but looking at the schools to which those teams belonged, they were all famous schools that were not much smaller than B University, and their strength was probably very strong.
"What a hand?" Yuan Xiaoye said angrily at Lan Yu, who was rushing to draw lots.
Lan Yu was also very helpless, originally this kind of lottery was done by Chen Chuxiao, but today he wanted to try it himself on a whim, and he was drawn into the death group......
"It's okay, let's find some opponents to warm up, we haven't played for too long, and besides, we must be champions, these are all trivial things, don't care." Lan Yu said with a big grin.
"Pretty confident." Suddenly there was a voice behind him, and several people looked back, they didn't know each other, but it should be a team in the same group as themselves.
"We are the undefeated team of W University, in the same group as you, my name is Koga, and the game ID is the Ghost Shadow Gun, you can also call me Old Gun." The person who came was slightly older than Lan Yu and the others, with a seemingly sincere smile on his chubby face, but there was a very strange look in his small eyes, full of calculation like the most shrewd businessman.
Although his thin lips were raised, they gave the impression that he was not in school.
"Xiao Gu, the name of your team is really bad, you said that if the undefeated team loses to a certain team by then, it will slap you in the face." Lan Yu's mouth was guilty again, and he said with a regretful face.
